Iron forms a cation.
Iron can exist as both an anion and a cation, depending on its oxidation state. In its most common forms, iron is a cation with a positive charge.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
1 and 1. The iron is the cation with a +2 charge; the oxygen is the anion with the -2 charge.

Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
CR is a cation.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
Hydrogen can be either a cation or an anion, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
